Flying the VX

I always think of this pic..............

I wonder what colour this reporters underwear was after.

O.K. I'll fess up--not like anyone reads this...right? First week I took it to a local RR xing, on a dirt road. Fairly abrupt break over angle, and a nice long, gentle landing ramp...(at least from the one direction-pretty violent landing the other) It's a spot the "kids" have discovered, and every WRX,Evo,and Wrangler within 20 miles have gotten air there.John's towing says they pull them out of the trees, and winch their shattered suspensions onto the rollback pretty regularly. Then we get them. Oh well, every time I see on limp into the shop, Front bumper cover shredded or front wheel sticking out at a sickening angle, I think back 4 years to a maniac old enough to know better, in an unfamiliar vehicle, spending a good hour going faster and faster each pass. The VX would launch and settle with such aplomb you just HAD to go a little harder next time. At 50 or so it felt like Rally Cyprus... as if the flights lasted10 seconds and covered a hundred yards. I was alone so I've no clue as to how high or far, but no damage...and several were done at well over fifty. Wonder who got it right, ME or ISUZU?

LOL! Yeah Dutchguy, that's the one that springs to mind for me too. And you just know someone got that VX later, had no clue what had been done to it, and got all PO'd that they had to replace the shocks right after they got it. LOL!
